1. Fuel pressure test for 32-34 PSI at schrader valve on passenger side fuel rail. You did filter, it could be bad outta da box, or pump could be an issue.
2. Does check engine light come on for a second or two when starting (bulb test), or is burned out? MAF will do this if unplugged - see this from RAVE:
Maybe a pin got bent in the electrical plug for MAF? MAF shows up in a code reading scanner, if one available.
Vehicle Speed Switch, but failure of that more commonly noticed while moving.

As there is no default strategy, failure will result in the
engine starting, and dying when it reaches 550
rev/min, when the ECM detects no MAF Sensor
signal. The fault is indicated by illumination of the
malfunction indicator light (MIL) on North American
